^What? He was even thinking of giving his life so that Komui and Chouji could escape.

HE SMILED.

Oh, and remember that if Allen = Jesus, supporting two great risks to his life would be...

...Well, actually, it's just that Kanda smiled.

Kinda anxious for this raw, though. On the other hand, I almost wish we'd see a little of Allen and Link in the meantime (just a panel or two about Allen not being able to get up or something). I think the lack of him shows how important Lenalee is, in a way... this is the second mini-arc where he's gone missing (not story-wise) for chapters while the action focuses on her. The same could be said of the Ark arc, but on the other hand, showing everyone else wouldn't have made sense since their story was supposed to continue "after" the fight ended. For the action to change to another character even when she isn't fighting just yet...

Edit: Oh my DGM god, that was an amazing chapter. Did it imply what I think it did?

as long as her quest to be re-powered is getting closer to completion, i can tolerate it.

She'll probably get her Innocence back in the next chapter. Hopefully, Kanda will die first. >_> I'm worried that he'll get his Innocence to satisfy fanboys and Lenalee will be left out again (even though this arc was clearly for her).

Lenalee's power-up and battle probably will be rushed, though... for a good reason. DGM's popularity plummeted at... guess what? Chapter 138! Remember what happened in chapter 138? Yup, a new fight began. It looks like Hoshino has gotten the message and has gone back to plot and discussions in recent chapters, so I doubt she's going to spend much time on a fight that probably won't be popular. (Oh, and Allen's power-up didn't take very many chapters either.)

Hevlaska seems to be a goner, unfortunately. I guess after living for over a century, it might not be so bad for her, though.
